In reply to the discussion: Fox Anchor Greg Kelly (And Son of NYC Police Commissioner) Accused Of Rape [View all]caseymoz
(5,763 posts)Why won't she? And why won't she be hit with civil suits for slander and libel, not to mention charges of attempted extortion since her boyfriend unwisely approached the police commissioner about it?
Fact is, after her boyfriend pulled that, she had to file charges, or be brought up on charges. Either he was seething mad or saw dollar signs. Or maybe both.
What did these text messages and phone calls say? Was she just answering him? That's important to know before you come to a conclusion. Rape can mess with somebody's mind pretty bad. Maybe she was brooding? Trying to figure it out? Maybe her life was ruined after that. Have you checked?
And it's one thing to say she sent text messages and such, but seeing him again would be something else. Did she ever get alone with him again? Did she have sex with him again? That would conclusively say it wasn't rape. If it's four months later, and it was consensual and they exchanged text messages that were flirtatious, that implies an ongoing affair, which means a charge of rape wouldn't stick for a moment. I'd expect it to be dropped within a week.
It might have been her boyfriend who got the story and confirmed for her that she had been raped. On the other hand, if it weren't rape but a one time encounter, and if the only contact were by text or phone calls, why would the subject even come up with the boyfriend four months later?
"Not passing the smell test" is a ridiculous way to come to a judgment on this. Despite what guys might think, false accusations aren't made that often. But they certainly do get press when they are.
I'll also add that if the sex were consensual, why not his apartment or hers? Why go to your place of employment when you don't have be there, (not like during your lunch hour,) to have sex in the complete discomfort of a chair or on a desk, knowing that security guards and cams might catch you?
And if I were that guy, nothing about a woman taking me to a law firm after hours would signal to me I was about to score. This seems extraordinarily dumb if the plan were originally to have sex.
